Anyone felt the pinch yet?

Notice a good proportion of my hotels are quiet this week. But with the jubilee round the corner and pride the week after maybe folk are simply saving their trips for that.

Cant help but feel the media are driving a lot of it. They seem hell bent on us heading into a recession. Making people panic and stop spending.

They should be telling everyone its all gravy.

Only area Ive felt it is diesel. £154 to fill my van the other day. That's taking the piss.

Are you sure you didn't mishear, or did he get it wrong?

They've gone up by 70% already and may yet rise by up to 10% more.

Price of jet fuel is the main reason, it has more than doubled in 12 months.

found out earlier Costa Flat Whites have gone up from £2.90 to £3.15

Yeah, they've gone right up.
I've been warning people for months about booking early etc and folk just think it's a sales ploy.

Have the Greeks started paying any tax yet or do they still ignore that and ask for an EU bail out every 5 years?

What's a flat white?  

Is that coffee with milk? 

Swanny - doesn't buy coffee out when there is a perfectly good kettle at home

I remember when they stopped lager and the new bitters in were over 4 quid years ago. Blew my mind. Then told I supplement the Camra drinkers. Barely go in now.
